Either of the above PLUS EITHER a whoppin' big sway bar at the rear, remove the front sway bar, and use an adjustable coilover at the left front OR use adjustable coilovers at both front corners with a right front spring rate about half again as large as the left front spring rate. (You'll need little, if any, static preload if you choose the latter.)
